TRISAN, a trinational centre of expertise in the field of health, presents its results

A closing event was held on May 12th in Strasbourg to present the main results and discuss the challenges and issues of health cooperation in the Upper Rhine. The project is funded under the Interreg programme. It is co-financed by 29 French, German and Swiss partners.

TRISAN is now more than just a project: it is a trinational skills centre for cross-border cooperation in the field of health, based in Kehl, which will continue beyond the end of the Interreg project.

Among the results presented are a number of guides and publications aimed at cross-border commuters, on subjects such as knowledge of available health care, the conditions of care, etc. But the work is also aimed at the general public, with a view to improving the quality of life of cross-border commuters. But the work is also aimed at those involved in cooperation, to help them plan projects or produce bilingual information material on the healthcare systems in the three countries. The publication of a "Trinational action plan for cross-border healthcare provision in the Upper Rhine", consisting of an inventory of healthcare strategies, cross-border projects and development guidelines for healthcare cooperation in the Upper Rhine, is particularly relevant. Work has also focused on the demography of healthcare workers, with the introduction of cross-border training courses being considered as a solution for increasing the number of training positions and candidates.
